Wow, wow, and wow is how I will start my review! I found this place by accident a few months ago…read moreand meant to go, but did not. I am so glad that I finally did go. Mama Inés is an amazing restaurant disguised as an amazing café. My friend and I walked in and were a little confused if we order at the counter or at our table. But, a nice waiter told us that he would come to us and get our orders. He was the only waiter in the restaurant so we waited for a few minutes, but it was so worth it. We decided to order the menú del día, which had just a few choices, but all of them sounded and from checking out the other tables looked delicious. My friend decided on a salad to start, for second the albondigas, and to drink cerveza. I selected to start with the fish cake, for second the albondigas, and to drink a glass of red wine. Our food took a little while to come out, but again was worth it. My friends salad was a mix of spinach and summer greens topped with chunks of feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of nuts and a light dressing. All of it came together so well and was very tasty and flavorful. My fish cake was not what I was expecting at all. It literally was a thick slice of cake, but with tuna and a mix of spices. The tuna was topped with a thick slice of cheese and surrounded by a hearty cream sauce and open oysters. Every bite left me yearning for more and more! The cake could've been my meal by itself as it was super hearty, but I had more coming! Finally our main dishes came and I was surprised by the size of the albondigas. There were three hearty meatballs a little smaller than golf balls on my plate. The meatballs were surrounded by a rich and thick red sauce with vegetables. Every bite tasted like heaven and again I did not want it to end again. If I could have licked the plate I would have. The albondigas was not spicy, but had a great amount of flavor with the onions, garlic, and cilantro. I wanted to order some more meatballs, but my stomach said no. To finish we both ordered coffees, so we were unable to try their cakes, which looked delicious as well. I definitely recommend mama inés café as the food is amazing and it is a way from the super touristy restaurants on gran vía. Plus their menú del día is only 10.50 euro, so such a wonderful deal for wonderful food! Go!!

Both satisfactory, especially for my friend from saint Louis because they just love chicken wings there. He was happy. We got these summer wine things which to my understanding is red wine and a lemon beverage maybe? Honestly tasted like sangria so I'm not complaining. Not 5/5 though but for the price I'm satisfied!

All I had was Chicken Fingers and wine but it was mighty tasty. The menu is mostly American cuisine and they have menus in English and Spanish. I loved how they had an outlet right underneath our table. That was luck because I didn't see them anywhere else but fortunately they do have these docks with USB's on the tables so that you can charge up. Good service. There's also a huge store on the main floor with a whole bunch of items in it. It's much more than a souvenir store; They had a little bit of everything in there. Cool spot!

This is a veryyyy small cafe/breakfast spot. Make sure to get reservations or go at a not busy time…read morein order to get a seat. There were probably only 20 or so in the whole place. What I ordered: I got the toast with tomato spread, a cappuccino, and the chocolate cake. For the toast, they have two vintage toasters sitting on the main table so you can toast it yourself. This is cute, until you aren't the one at the main table so you have to reach over other people to toast your breakfast. The cake was a perfect amount of density and moisture; although, I would probably get a different flavor if I could do it over. A lot of people do chocolate cake a lot better than this. I do appreciate that they have all the cakes on a table and cut it right in front of you. Would I go back to this place? Honestly no because my experience wasn't overwhelmingly great and I think I could do better at other cafes nearby, but the quality of food here is simply top-notch.

Be sure to make a reservation because the restaurant is quaint--besides a communal table that seats around ten, I think I only saw a small bar space and two individual tables. The decor is modern, simple yet funky and homey, and the tables in front of the windows are beautiful! The menu includes several options where you can pick the number of side dishes and entree, so you can completely design your meal around your appetite. The ingredients tasted super fresh, and we especially loved the salads we tried! My friend was a little disappointed that his ceviche portion was so small, but it tasted great, and I loved the Asian-inspired chicken. Service was also pretty good, by Madrid standards. On my next visit to Madrid, I will be back to try the breakfast and baked goods :)
